Susan Cain Quotes

Introverts are capable of acting like extroverts for the sake of work they consider important, people they love, or anything they value Picture Quote #1

Love is essential, gregariousness is optional Picture Quote #1

Introverts are offered keys to private gardens full of riches. To possess such a key is to tumble like Alice down her rabbit hole. She didn’t choose to go to Wonderland - but she made of it an adventure that was fresh and fantastic and very much her own Picture Quote #1

I’ve never given a speech without being terrified first Picture Quote #1

Solitude matters, and for some people, it’s the air they breathe Picture Quote #1

The glory of the disposition that stops to consider stimuli rather than rushing to engage with them is its long association with intellectual and artistic achievement. Neither E=mc2 nor Paradise Lost was dashed off by a party animal Picture Quote #1

In a way, education by its nature favours the extrovert because you are taking kids and putting them into a big classroom, which is automatically going to be a high-stimulation environment. Probably the best way of teaching in general is one on one, but that’s not something everyone can afford Picture Quote #1

Naked lions are just as dangerous as elegantly dressed ones Picture Quote #1

I’m not saying abolish group work - I think there’s a time and a place for people to come together and exchange ideas, but let’s restore the respect we once had for solitude. And we need to be much more mindful of the way we come together Picture Quote #1

I think the shyness one feels in childhood is often overcome with time. There are children who hide behind their parents’ legs, but you don’t see grown-ups hiding behind people. It just doesn’t happen. I mean, not that often. People develop social skills over time Picture Quote #1

Many people believe that introversion is about being antisocial, and that’s really a misperception. Because actually it’s just that introverts are differently social. So they would prefer to have a glass of wine with a close friend as opposed to going to a loud party full of strangers Picture Quote #1

[Introverts,] the world needs you and it needs the things you carry. So I wish you the best of all possible journeys and the courage to speak softly Picture Quote #1

Another study, of 38,000 knowledge workers across different sectors, found that the simple act of being interrupted is one of the biggest barriers to productivity. Even multitasking, that prized feat of modern-day office warriors, turns out to be a myth Picture Quote #1

Shyness is the fear of social disapproval or humiliation, while introversion is a preference for environments that are not overstimulating. Shyness is inherently painful; introversion is not Picture Quote #1

(Finland is a famously introverted nation. Finnish joke: How can you tell if a Finn likes you? He’s staring at your shoes instead of his own.) Picture Quote #1

So stay true to your own nature. If you like to do things in a slow and steady way, don’t let others make you feel as if you have to race. If you enjoy depth, don’t force yourself to seek breadth. If you prefer single-tasking to multi-tasking, stick to your guns. Being relatively unmoved by rewards gives you the incalculable power to go your own way Picture Quote #1

Women were also urged to work on a mysterious quality called ‘fascination.’ Coming of age in the 1920’s was a competitive business Picture Quote #1

There is no one more courageous than the person who speaks with the courage of his convictions Picture Quote #1

I’m insatiably curious about human nature Picture Quote #1

I’ve wanted to be a writer since I was four years old! Picture Quote #1

Don’t think of introversion as something that needs to be cured Picture Quote #1

I prefer listening to talking, reading to socializing, and cozy chats to group settings Picture Quote #1

It’s never a good idea to organize society in a way that depletes the energy of half the population Picture Quote #1

When you’re more focused in getting your message across than you are worrying about how people are viewing you, that’s huge Picture Quote #1

Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks, Gandhi Â- all these peopled described themselves as quiet and soft-spoken and even shy. And they all took the spotlight, even though every bone in their bodies was telling them not to Picture Quote #1

Men are more likely to be introverted than women are, but it’s really very slight. But the real difference I think is in how it plays out, how it relates to cultural stereotypes Picture Quote #1

What’s interesting is relative levels of introversion tend to stay the same. If you went back to your reunion from school, you would probably find that if you ranked everyone in your class into terms of levels of introversion and extroversion you’d still be the same rank Picture Quote #1

Most people who have grown up introverted in this very extroverted culture of ours have had painful experiences of feeling like they are out of step with what’s expected of them. Parenting can pose unique challenges for introverted parents, who fear that their own painful experiences will be repeated in their children’s lives Picture Quote #1

We need to do teacher training to educate them about what temperament means. Shyness is painful and you want to help a child with shyness - but the underlying temperament of being a careful, sensitive person is to be honoured, valued and respected Picture Quote #1

One thing I’m hearing a lot is from teachers who have felt that there’s something wrong with the extreme group learning, but felt like they couldn’t say that out loud. And apparently the discussion is now opening up. I think change is going to be a long time coming Picture Quote #1
